lil_ramsic - george lyrics
[verse 1]
your story starts in the year 93
february 30th, the day of your birth it was
a glorious day, to say the least
a year later i come along and family’s complete
well it was, for 6 weeks, nicholas would plead
“please don’t leave. you were a dad to me
and how could you walk out, on sam and george”
“kid, i’m going” as he walked out that door
a single mum, to raise three kids
aged 12, 1, and just, six weeks
turns out, i didn’t, f-cking, need him
cause you raised me, you were my brother
but more like a father, you were only a year older
things grew harder, for you more than anyone
the kid in the middle you were just like malcolm
dunno how you, did it, but you still, stuck with it
when things got shit, it was mum and nick
vs you and me, we were a team
“we’re still family, don’t forget that
you’re here for a reason don’t ever regret that”
you always knew, just how to fix it
always, knew how, to lift, my spirits
but unfortunately that happened to you
cause you, never, even existed
[hook]
you were the brother i always wished for
but for, anyone that happens to be listening
don’t get it twisted, george was real
in my heart, and he still is, he died by miscarriage
i never, knew him, but still, i miss him
he was the brother i always wished for
but for, anyone, listening don’t get it twisted
george was real, he still is, i miss him
[verse 2]
so now, you know, the story, was fiction
but unfortunately for me i’m not a magician
my wishes have so far been useless
it’s taken everything in me, to do this
growing up, always hating my dad
but it was mum, twisting the thoughts that i had
she made me believe that he didn’t care
so i grew up, not even wishing him here
so i guess he left at about the right time
in my mind it don’t make sense i won’t lie
cause i’m still p-ssed that he could do that
how could a father leave behind
a child and say to himself “this life
that i hold in my hands, this was from mine”
then leave 6 weeks into his life
he had his reasons, okay, that’s fine
but maybe a father at 22 weren’t right
maybe you’d hold on to mums brainwashed hate
your whole entire life, maybe it’s fate
that i’m here and not you but i still have to say
i imagine life better with you
but maybe we’d be like me and mum
we’re too far gone there’s hardly a bond
but i choose to believe, that we’d be a team
[hook]
you were the brother i always wished for
but for, anyone that happens to be listening
don’t get it twisted, george was real
in my heart, and he still is, he died by miscarriage
i never, knew him, but still, i miss him
he was the brother i always wished for
but for, anyone, listening don’t get it twisted
george was real, he still is, i miss him
[verse 3]
i’ve got other brothers that i love dearly
but if they hear me i hope it’s clear that
with both of you there’s been some distance
physically or emotionally and with george’s existence
i simply picture him being the bro
that i’d, go to in times, of sorrow
i love you both and now i hope
that we are closer than this song would show
but this is for george, so rest, in peace
to the brother, that i, can never, see
someday, my kids, will have, your name
and know, the story that when i was eight
halloween, was when, i would create
out, of paper mache, the body
that would soon be yours, a face, drawn
by hand, newspaper filled, my clothes
i’m thrilled, you’re made, i placed, you on
nick’s bed, as a prank, but mum, would say
get rid of it, no, he’s my bro, i won’t
she put, george in, the shed, and said
he stays here, out of, the way, and to
this day you’re still in my shed, i look left
you’re there, my brother, george and as
i’m recording this, the shed door opens
slowly, i can only hope its you
walking in, i hope you’re listening
and though, i ain’t seen it, your face, i picture it
man, i miss you, my brother george
but until the day you open the door
for me to enter into heaven
i want you to live through me
i’ll see you then, i love you, goodbye
[outro]
goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell
but it’s not the end of the chapter
goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell
i’ll see you again in the afterlife
